Without getting into pointless comparisons (I've used both), the problem I have with /contrib is the huge bottleneck that appears to be present getting stuff from /pending to /contrib, and that even /pending seems to have been in limbo for awhile. http://jucr.opensolaris.org/statistics/promoted_packages http://jucr.opensolaris.org/pending/en/index.shtml Catalog Packages 1174 Last Updated 2010-04-27 17:14:53 http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib/en/index.shtml Catalog Packages 351 Last Updated 2009-12-15 07:01:09 If /contrib is to be a meaningful alternative, it should get updated more often, and contain a larger percentage of the number of packages in /pending. That, even if not supported, one might want some control so that people might have confidence in /contrib, is understandable. That the appearance is that most such control is a resource that can vanish at a corporate whim is not acceptable. Are there any outside approvers, or a process to get them trained and blessed? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
